Initially, developing a formative feedback process takes some effort, but onceestablished, requires little effort. The process includes four steps: 1) acquiring data from studentreflections; 2) assessing and characterizing student responses in order to diagnose the learningissues that can impede students from achieving their learning goals; 3

following semester provides insights into themotivations and backgrounds of distance students in the program. Implications of the findingsfor distance engineering course design are discussed.IntroductionThe University of North Dakota (UND) offers ABET-accredited undergraduate distanceengineering programs in chemical, civil, electrical, geological, and mechanical engineering. Theprograms began with industrial collaboration in the early 1990s and have grown to compriseapproximately 1/3 of the total enrollment in the UND College of Engineering and Mines. Theyenroll students from across the country and around the world. While originally developed forworking professionals with technical experience looking to finish a degree, increasing numbersof

Figure. 1 Screenshots of a virtual experiment developed to introduce students to the design and functionality of an X-Ray powder diffractometer and its major parts, as well as to help them better understand relevant science laws and engineering implementations. The learner is able to select a part (e.g., scintillation detector – bottom left) and explore in detail its design, major components, and basic parameters. Students will also learn the

thetime frame. The latter, is usually unique to each institution, so keep this in mind as the scope ofwork covered by this example is an individual student in one semester in a 3 credit seniorcapstone course.Hooking students into a capstone project thought personal interests and/ or experience is not anew idea and often used by others to development design problems.2 Kreppel and Rabiee havestated that “often students working alone or in teams chose between these two broad areas ofexperience:1) their own industrial experience through work as co-op students, entrepreneurs,service managers, trouble-shooters, etc., or 2) their personal experience as students, volunteers,parents, homeowners, renters, racing enthusiasts, hobbyists, sports participants

the same syllabus as all of the othersections of the course which was identical to what we have taught in previous years. Thesyllabus was broken down into lectures and there were already learning objectives written foreach. Some topics take several lectures and other take a single lecture to cover. Class sessionswere held on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Hence, we decided to eliminate lecture eachWednesday and use active learning methods exclusively that day. We gave traditional lecturewith occasional active learning activities (about 10% of each lecture) on Mondays and Fridays.Class demographics: The class consisted of 40 Aerospace, 5 Computer Science, 55 ChemicalEngineers, 1 Civil, 3 Electrical, 3 Engineering Physics, 3 Engineering First

While the course was deployed at the Page 24.521.3mechanical department, the course was aimed to also be appropriate for interested students fromany other discipline, in that it will assist in integrating ICME with other STEM disciplines byraising awareness of new potential issues and technologies and igniting an innovative thoughtprocess among students in different science fields for utilizing ICME in practice.More specifically, this course aims that the students are exposed to

, or it will erode over time. When an existing composite needs an addition of composite,there is no oxygen inhibited layer to provide adherence, and the composite addition will be lessthan integral with the existing restoration. Wetting Repair Resins is designed to restore theoxygen inhibited layer prior to the addition of new composite to an existing restoration. Thisresearch project compares the flexure strength of composites to that of their repaired samples,with and without the Repair resin applied.Experimental ProcedureIn this research seven different composites are tested. The experiments are conducted in ninesteps, starting from making the composite specimen till the break of the repaired compositespecimen as shown in Figure 1

The qualities that acurrent engineering program should possess include: global and local focus, innovative,collaborative, transparent, flexible, market-driven and accountable.1 The global focus ensuresthat the skills acquired are internationally benchmarked while the local focus makes certain thatthe needs of the regional economy are understood. Flexibility in curricula will allow for quickchange to adapt to current situations and make the process transparent.In Drexel University’s College of Engineering-Engineering Technology (ET) department, manycourses related to design, manufacturing processes, green manufacturing and engineeringmaterials are offered to the students in the Bachelor of Science
